Big hugs for you. Our pets leave special paw prints in our hearts which will never be replaced. I lost my cat last year and it took a while for me to not keep thinking he was still there in the house. If there was ever a 'mound' under the duvet I would always think it was him. I think what you are experiencing is a natural grieving process. Time is a healer and you need to remember the good times. It sounds like your decision was made at the right time to maintain dignity and only you could have known the right time to make this decision.

I hope that your memories of the happy times are enough to help you through this difficult time, thinking of you xx

Read your post yesterday and felt so sad for you I didn't know what to write. This is the hardest thing for us all, and always reminds us of our past loved and cherished ones. I love that poem it always brings a tear to my eye and my heart goes out to you it truly does. I try to comfort myself with Tennyson's ' Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all' I wish I hadn't had to say goodbye to my loved ones, but I wouldn't have ever wanted to be without them and save me the sadness. I promise you, as time passes the pain is eased by fond memories, Best wishes, L

Really sorry if this upsets you more but this is a lovely poem that i think helps in this situation. I am sure this is exactly what Sasha would be saying and altough we all feel guilty and lost when this decision has to be made - she is grateful.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,

And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then will you do what must be done,

For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,

But don't let grief then stay your hand,

For on this day, more than the rest,

Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,

You wouldn't want me to suffer so.

When the time comes, please, let me go.

Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

Only, stay with me till the end

And hold me firm and speak to me,

Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree,

It is a kindness you do to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,

From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don't grieve that it must be you,

Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close,we two, these years,

Don't let your heart hold any tears.
